How to make maki.

2012-01-13T20:30:00.000-08:00

It's easy and difficult at the same time.

Easy to roll. Difficult to cut.

So we ended up using some thin cutter in order to produce these slices.

Samurai Sentai SHINKENGER

2011-11-19T10:20:00.000-08:00

by Von Fritz Evangelista

Samurai Sentai SHINKENGER is the third super sentai series that I’m done watching. But it’s supposed to be the second…if I didn’t decide to watch GO-ONGER first. Plus, I was bored in the first few episodes so I focused on the fun of Sousuke’s squad. But it turns out that things got better in the middle of the series. So I decided to finish it as soon as possible (hungry for moar).

As the title suggests, the series is themed on the samurai lifestyle. All about Japan…which makes it unique. Bushiddo, sushi, katakana, kabuki…it’s like knowing much Japanese culture while you watch the series. At first I thought…what the F? How could they make a toku with such traditional concept? But well, expect the unexpected. Everything turned out just fine.

The squad is headed by ShinkenRed Shiba Takeru, a serious kind of Red Ranger. His mates are ShinkenBlue Ryunusuke, ShinkenGreen Chiaki, ShinkenPink Mako, and ShinkenYellow Kotoha. They’re a bunch of kids with different personalities…gawd, I can’t even tell who’s my favorite. All of them guided by Kusakabe whom they call Jii-san and together they fight the Gedoshuu headed by the evil Chimatsuri Doukoku. In the middle of the series, ShinkenGold appears in the person of Genta…a sushi seller. He’s different. Well I guess, he’s my fave character in the series.

Okay, I can’t say much about the series…actually, with all the super sentai series that I watched. It’s like…it’s complicated. You just can’t say that it’s good or bad and so on. There’s a lot of surprises in every episode.

But lemme cite the difference of Shinkenger to the other sentai series that I watched (well, comparing it to Jetman and Go-Onger). Shinkenger is serious…honestly. That’s why I said I was bored in the first few episodes. Even with Takeru…he’s not my Red Ranger type. Being serious, neatness follows. All the fight scenes are neat, with all those sword clashing sequences. Neat acting. Neat dialogues. Neat villains. Unlike in Go-Onger and in Jetman.

I loved the origamis. The different versions and the like. But gawd, I was definitely turned off with the ultimate robot Ha-Oh. It’s epicness didn’t convince me. I mean…how would you call that a combined robot with some parts just in the background? Haha. Really…I dunno how did they came to that. And even my sentai addict friends agree.

Speaking of the villains, I love them. It’s the kind of love that I felt with the Vyram and the Gaiark. It’s not that they’re so bad as hell. It’s their drama. No bias since I really love villains for reals. Dayuu and Juuzou are epic…not to mention Akumaro who almost brought doomsday to Japan. Doukoku didn’t impress me much but he proved himself boss somehow. Bravo on the final battle.

Shiba Kaoru impressed me. I mean…yeah, she’s the effin twist in the last five episodes. But really, she made it clear that she will be remembered. Of course…the first female official Red Ranger they say?

I hate to admit it but the ending was kinda disturbing. You know, the way they presented it…all of Takeru’s friends saying goodbye one by one. And LONELINESS it is. It made me sad. But that’s better than one of them dying (unlike in Jetman, haha).

Appare Shinkenjaa!

What is a 'weaboo'?

2011-11-18T09:24:00.000-08:00

Weaboo

A negative term directed to anyone overly obsessed with Japanese culture to the point where they become annoying.Used frequently on the image boards of 4chan.

Most weaboos are uneducated about their obsession of choice and are often noobs who are overly zealous, trying to impress others with their otaku knowledge. Another trait of a weaboo is their desire to "be Japanese".

While the two terms are often fused together, weaboos are very different from anime fans or enthusiasts. A fan may be just as enthusiastic and knowlegable
about Japanese culture, mainly anime, but they neither boast about their knowledge nor call themselves otaku(because of its known negative connatation).

Spread kawaii!

Anime Review: Ano Hana

2011-09-15T10:44:00.000-07:00

by Von Fritz Evangelista

I swear I’m not fond of slice of life anime or manga. It’s just that I have enough of reality and I find it redundant watching or reading such genre.

Not until I discovered a good slice of life manga early this year. And since then I’m hooked. I realized it’s not about the redundancy. These slice of life stories reminds us of everything…of things we have forgotten.

I can say Ano Hana is my first official slice of life pick. I mean, yeah, I used to watch slice of life anime back then…like Sarah, Cedie, A Dog of Flanders, etc. But I wasn’t serious. With Ano Hana, I wanted to digest everything. It’s my first real time appreciation and I savored every second of it. And thanks to Vench for the recommendation.

I’m just saying the other title ‘Ano Hana’ because the main title is kinda long… ‘We Still Don’t Know The Name of the Flower We Saw That Day’. Well, that’s one thing that hooked me up, the long title. And since the first episode, I’ve been curious about the flower too.

Ano Hana is a tale of childhood friends…Menma, Jintan, Yukiatsu, Anaru, Tsuruko, and Poppo. The six of them make up the Super Peace Busters. Each with different personalities and haunted by a tragic past.

Menma is the nice girl and everyone likes her. She’s so nice that all the boys like her while the other girls envy her. She’s the one who died some years ago and is back in the present as a ghost (that only Jintan can see) to reunite her friends. She will not attain Nirvana unless she her secret wish is granted.

Jintan is the leader. And I think he’s the most important character in the story. He can see the ghost of Menma and he’s guilty of that tragedy that happened in the past. It’s obvious in the series that he loved Menma and now that the girl’s back, he tries to help her attain Nirvana by granting her wish.

Anaru is the geek-turned-bitchy girl who envied Menma so much because she likes Jintan. When Menma passed away, Anaru thought she could have Jintan all for herself but it’s the other way around.

Yukiatsu is the tsundere boy. He acted tough…but he had this secret feelings for Menma. And it’s the reason why he hated Jintan so much…because Jintan and Menma like each other.

Tsuruko is the tsundere girl. She’s best buds with Yukiatsu…and is secretly in love with him. And since she knows Yukiatsu’s in love with Menma, she envied Menma too. Though, it’s revealed in the end that she actually envied Anaru because with Menma gone, Yukiatsu may turn to Anaru.

Poppo is the happy-go-lucky guy who travels the world and is desperate to reunite his friends. He’s like a mediator in the story. He wasn’t involved in any love affair but deep inside him is guilt of what happened in the past.

The story revolved around these four characters…transcending past and present in every episode. In the past, they’re these bunch of kids who knew nothing but fun and who cared for each other so much. In the present, they’re these bunch of teenagers who pretend to despise each other and want to move on but just can’t. It’s the sad reality that the anime mirrors in me. Yes, I had lotsa childhood friends back then. Nowadays, we’re nothing but strangers.

A ghost? At first the story is some kind of paranormal. But as you go along with the story, the reality is overflowing that fantasy itself is drowned. You won’t care whether Menma is a real ghost or a hallucination or just a bittersweet memory.

Every episode is a tearjerker. Guaranteed. But maybe for the shallow tear ducts. Honestly, I never shed a tear. I dunno. There were episodes that are heartcrushing…and yet I find myself unable to cry. Maybe it’s not the kind of sadness that can make me cry. Especially in the finale…gawd, everyone’s crying…I wanted to cry with them and I can’t. Though, I bluffed online that I’m crying buckets for the heck of it.

Lotsa interesting things mentioned in conversations. There’s One Piece and Pokemon and Dog of Flanders…and what? McDonalds? Haha. The makers of this anime are so intelligent. I salute them. How could they make something unique and interesting out of simple plot involving childhood friends? And I definitely love the art (and I keep on telling Vench it might be because of the high res copy he gave me). The music is so good too…I always hum the opening and ending songs.

I definitely give this anime 5 stars. It’s incomparable. Everything I love in life is in this anime…childhood, memories, growing up, intellectual blabs…just see for yourselves.

So what will happen in Harajukize NGC Anniversary?

2011-06-17T02:48:00.000-07:00

-Von Fritz Evangelista

It's been a year since Harajukize NGC was born - my brainchild. But I don't take all the credits for myself. Harajukize NGC was fated. Thanks to all the cosplayers who ignited the flames and continued to burn on up to the present.

We met a lot of friends. Talked a lot of stuff. Took thousands of photos. Ate, burped. Shared a lot of fun together. These were the things Harajukize NGC blessed us in the past year. And as we enter another year, altogether now...MOAR MOAR MOAR!

This June 26, we celebrate Harajukize NGC First Anniversary. Let's make it an epic anniversary worth bragging by Bacolod cosplayers!

So what's going to happen?

*Though Harajukize NGC is all about cosplaying, COSPLAY is not compulsory in the anniversary. There's no theme. We encourage COSTRIPPING since originally, Harajukize NGC was born out of it. Just wear anything you like. Have fun. No rules. This is also to invite other otakus who are not into cosplay to join us. But if you want to be the best in your cos, then go ramp the stage!

*There will be games. This time, FOR REALS. We ask for the full participation of the existing cosplay teams out there. So please please please. Heads of cosplay teams, please contact me for details.

*To commemorate the first anniversary, there will be a POSTER MAKING CONTEST and COLLAGE MAKING CONTEST.

*Rules for POSTER MAKING CONTEST. Anyone who experienced the fun of Harajukize NGC series is welcome to submit his/her entry. Poster should be submitted in a one whole white cartolina. The contestant may use any medium for his/her poster (water color, pastel, crayons, etc.). The poster should be based on the theme: HARAJUKIZE NGC, BEYOND COSPLAY.

Weee! Anigumi Joukai invited Hitsuzen Inc to Iloilo last May 5, 2011 to attend their anniversary convention. Mac, Sheila, and Von went.

It was one helluva fun. Anigumi's like the sister group of Hitsuzen in Iloilo. And really, Anigumi Joukai stressed out Hitsuzen Inc inspired them a lot.

Plus! Jayem Sison as a surprise guest. Wooot!

Lots of great moments together.

Dinner at Breakthrough.

Coffee and chats with Jayem at Coffee Break, Smallville.

Getting wasted at MO2. Woot!

Harajukize NGC 9: Harajuku Come True

2011-04-30T08:32:00.000-07:00

Last March 26 was the 9th Harajukize NGC...the comeback of the event for 2011. Everybody missed it. And we had some kind of a gimmick. We awarded those people who had their bests in the past Harajukize NGC events.

THE FIRST HARAJUKIZE NGC AWARDS

It was a successful event. Plus, we awarded those teams who had been supporting the event ever since. Arigato gozaimasu TINTA PRODUCTIONS, YUYA BOYS, JUGATSU, AND OTAKU GEIRIN BACOLOD!

The skies were kinda gloomy. We used to loiter in front of the building but this time, we stayed at the canteen at the back for some shelter. It was a perfect place. T'was another perfect afternoon to have fun with fellow otakus, talk and talk and talk...and yeah, camwhoring.

See ya next NGC!

Ozine Fest 2011 Tales: Mac --- Kuroshitsuji? Vocaloid? Durarara?

2011-04-18T16:52:00.000-07:00

He's supposed to be cosplaying Finian from Kuroshitsuji.

But why on earth Vocaloid and Durarara cosplayers kept on grabbing him? LOLs.

Poor Mac.

Ozine Fest 2011 Tales: Kurei and Kurenai?

2011-04-18T16:48:00.000-07:00

Von cosplayed Kurei from Flame of Recca on Day 2.

He would have wanted to have a Kurenai as a prop (the woman flame) but it was a hassle.

But no more prob...Kurenai is here.

Even though she's from Naruto...still, she's Kurenai. LOLs.

Ozine Fest 2011 Tales: Paolo the Penniless

2011-04-18T16:42:00.000-07:00

This photo was taken after Paolo lost his plane ticket...plus his wallet with his 3,000 Php Ozine pocket money.

How unfortunate eh?

So we're all forced to donate...and sacrificed our wants. Coz we were bankrupt ourselves.

But look at the dude's smile after he got Kristel Lim's autograph...

Congrats Em! Winner of ICI Ice Cream Eating Contest

2011-04-12T22:58:00.000-07:00

Because Joe made a bet. If Vench and Pao could do 'chareto' with Jin, they're going to have free lunches for a week. How's that?

Joesalie Solis! You're going bankrupt this time! LOLs.

Or maybe, group cosplaying is cool enough.

Plus, Sir Raymond Sison of CS Central took photos of us. Awsm!

Kamowstah naman na ya?

Ozine Fest 2011 Tales: Hitsuzen Inc hearts Jin Joson!

2011-04-12T22:22:00.000-07:00

It was a dream come true, for most of us.

And it's like...everyday we're stalking Tuxessories booth just to take a look at Jin and the rest of Tuxedo team. Oh yeah...we bought an item (Joe's request).

And we got photos with her everyday.

Plus, Joe got to talk to her via phone...a shameless idea by Paolo. What the heck?!

It was uber fun! And Jin was kinda mentioning us anywhere because of our annoying tactics. LOL.

Arigato gozaimasu Jin-sama!
